Trust is the most important asset in the current world. Trust is the ground on which we all stand. But we are losing trust in each other and in human institutions, and instead increasingly trust only algorithms and AI.

Very good meeting with @MSF_IP's Javid Abdelmoneim on the ongoing #Ebola response in the #DRC and ways to scale up our joint activities faster to support the DRC government's leadership of the response. We share deep grief over the killing of an Ebola health worker last weekend and call for the safety and protection of all health workers, in the DRC and everywhere. Health care must never be a target. We also discussed ongoing negotiations on the Pandemic Agreement's Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing annex, and @WHO's financial reforms.

What happens when the sea no longer sustains the people who depend on it?
In Drowning on Dry Land, MSF Without Borders Media Fellow Cheena Kapoor reports from Andhra Pradesh, where declining fish stocks, rising debt, and increasingly dangerous seas are pushing coastal communities into deep distress — with serious consequences for mental health, family wellbeing, and livelihoods.
This powerful story highlights how climate pressure is not only reshaping ecosystems, but also lives, futures, and hope.

Social media is designed to maximize one thing: engagement. The thing that drives engagement best is anger and fear – we simply cannot look away. What happens when the very technology that allows us to have large-scale public conversations and allows democracy to flourish turns us against each other?
Take a moment let it settle!
#Growth is in the stretch. #Peace is in the groundedness of the breath within.

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

We don’t know which way AI will ultimately develop, but we can futureproof ourselves by focusing on adaptability.

Whether pessimists or optimists, we can all agree that AI will fundamentally change how we live: whether it's how we study and work, our leisure and hobbies, how we form friendships and relationships – or ultimately just how we communicate with each other.

Health is more than treatment, it’s about ensuring every patient has access to the medicines they need, when they need them. At Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), pharmacists are at the heart of that mission. They don’t just dispense medicines. They guide patients, counsel them, educate communities, and monitor treatments carefully to make sure every dose counts.
As Lamya Abdi, one of our pharmacists, puts it: “We not only need the right medications, but a constant supply of them to help keep our patients alive…”
MSF pharmacists work in some of the most challenging conditions. In certain projects, medication has to be ordered internationally and can take up to seven months to arrive via our MSF planes. Yet, our pharmacists make it work. Their main role is clear: to ensure people being treated in MSF projects get quality medicines and vaccines, no matter what country they live in.
As Jessica Burry, another MSF pharmacist, says: “Our work might mean supporting our supply centres to source quality-assured medicines, or negotiating with companies to make their medicines available and affordable in low-income countries.”
Whether in a bustling hospital ward, a mobile clinic in a remote village, or a small community health post, MSF pharmacists bring vigilance, expertise, and compassion to every patient interaction.
As Lamya reminds us: “I’m an MSF pharmacist and together, we save lives!”
So, this World Pharmacists Day, we celebrate their dedication. Because, when you think health, you think pharmacists.
